What does the sanity meter do?
Question 14 of 22
A
Sanity is your health bar in Animal Hospital. It starts around 61-65 and drains 1 point every 50 seconds just from working.
How It Works
- Coffee restores 15 sanity and brews every three minutes
- Chocolate bar restores 60 sanity
- Tasing a fake patient gives +2 sanity; tasing a real patient costs -15
- Below 35 sanity, the screen loses color and the music slows as a warning - drink something quickly
- At 0 sanity, you die and the run ends
Class Interactions
- Psychologist doubles all sanity effects - both positive and negative
- Secretary gains 1 sanity per patient check-in
- Doctor gains 1 sanity per patient healed
- Firefighter (level 3) is immune to sanity drain from fires and gains +10 maximum sanity
